What is the process of fligh for a heron bird?

Grey Herons eat whatever they can catch: fish, amphibians, arthropods (insects, spiders), crustacea (crabs), and even small mammals (rodents), reptiles (hatchling turtles), small birds (catching these on the wing). They are not above scavenging, and stealing prey caught by other birds (e.g., the Purple Heron).

Grey Herons have long necks and powerful bills for a long and strong reach. They usually wait on the mud or at the water's edge to snatch passing aquatic prey. They can stand motionless for hours. Or they may wade slowly through shallow water or on mud freshly exposed by the tide. They may also stalk fish. They may even dive into deeper water. In Europe, some even follow farm ploughs to catch whatever is unearthed or flushed out in the process.

Although Grey Herons roost and nest in groups, they hunt alone. But when prey is plentiful, they may

feed in groups, evenly spaced out. They are most active at dawn and dusk.

How do you prove Heron's Formula?

We can prove Heron's formula by the equation method. First of all we should know the height of the triangle and the three sides.

The working is given below:

s=(a+b+c)/2

We must then find:

s-a

s-b

s-c

By data,

√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] =1/2bh

If the answers are equal, then Heron's Formula has been proved.
